Croquettes are a crispy, old-fashioned favorite that come together in no time at all, and our recipe for Homestyle Tuna Croquettes is no exception. We combine canned tuna with some comforting ingredients, like mashed potatoes and a couple of veggies, to create this sensational dish!

What To Do:

Place remaining bread crumbs in a shallow dish; coat each patty completely.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Cook patties 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately, or make ahead and rewarm in a low oven just before serving.

I can almost guarantee that June Cleaver would served SALMON croquettes, not tuna. Tuna was for casseroles. Salmon was for croquettes. My mother made the greatest salmon croquettes and I still make them today, 60 years later. Always served with a white sauce. never had them with peas in the sauce, but that sounds good.

I'm going to try these, sounds delish! One of my son's favorite recipes is tuna cakes with a creamed pea sauce (white sauce with canned or frozen peas) and parsley buttered potatoes. It sounds kinda odd but is really good. I think this will be a nice alternative.

Crab cakes are so expensive in a restaurant, and even making your own can break your budget, so I tried these tuna croquettes and loved them! They are a tasty, economical compromise! I did use Panko crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs, which gives it a fantastic crunchy coating! I was unsure about the mashed potato as a binder, as mayo or egg is a common one, but the mashed potato was good and I felt that the croquette stayed together well when frying. I think you could put a little olive oil on a baking pan and cook these in the oven if you wanted to make a lot. Just turn them half way so both sides are crispy.
